Edmonton, AB (Sports Network) - Grant Shaw's field goal as time expired was
wide right and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats held on for a 30-29 win over the
Edmonton Eskimos on Friday.

Henry Burris completed 20-of-26 passes for 293 yards, two touchdowns and one

Cary Koch caught eight passes for 112 yards.

Shaw nailed a 25-yard field goal with 8:55 left in the first to give the
Eskimos an early lead.

Luca Congi's 17-yard field goal tied the game at 3-3 with 3:47 to go in the
first quarter.

Shaw split the uprights from 38 yards out just under four minutes into the
second stanza, but the Ti-Cats scored 14 unanswered points to take a 17-6 lead
into the locker room.

Burris connected with Bakari Grant for a 24-yard gain to put the ball on the
Eskimo's 19. After an 11-yard completion to Onrea Jones, Gable bulled his
way across the goal line from eight yards out.

Burris' 17-yard touchdown pass to Ellingson made it an 11-point game. Burris
scrambled to his right and started to break for the end zone, but pulled up
last second and found Ellingson streaking across the back of the end zone for
the score.

Hamilton conceded into the end zone with 10 minutes left, but got the points
back on its next touch as Congi drilled a 38-yarder with 5:16 left to make it
20-8.

The Eskimos responded with a touchdown as Hugh Charles found the end zone
from five yards out, but the Tiger-Cats drove right down the field to open the
fourth, ending the drive with a 17-yard touchdown completion to Ellingson.

Reilly connected with Henry for a seven-yard touchdown to pull Edmonton within
27-22.

Congi's 27-yarder with 1:55 left made it 30-22, but after a 40-yard catch-and-
run from Henry and a 29-yard pass interference call set up Joseph's three-yard
touchdown toss to McCarty to pull the Eskimos within 30-28. Reilly fumbled on
the two-point try, but Edmonton was able to force a punt with 26 seconds left.

Reilly rushed to the Hamilton 53, spiked the ball to stop the clock, then
found Fred Stamps for a 10-yard gain with one second remaining, but Shaw's
field goal was wide ride and the Tiger-Cats took a knee in the end zone to end
the contest.
